Safety Warnings - Makita DVC261ZX4 Instruction Manual

WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
WARNING:
The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is
used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing account of all parts of the operating cycle such
as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN60335-2-69:
Work mode: operation without load
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used

IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY
all safety warnings and all instructions BEFORE
USE . Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

4. NEVER USE THE CLEANER IN THE VICINITY
OF GASOLINE, GAS, PAINT, ADHESIVES OR
OTHER HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.
The switch emits sparks when turned ON and
OFF. And so does the motor commutator during
operation. A dangerous explosion may result.
5. Never vacuum up toxic, carcinogenic, com-
bustible or other hazardous materials such as
asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pes-
ticides, or other health endangering materials.
6. Never use the cleaner outdoors in the rain.
7. Do not use close to heat sources (stoves, etc.).
Do not block cooling vents. These vents per-
8.
mit cooling of the motor. Blockage should be
carefully avoided otherwise the motor will burn
out from lack of ventilation.
9. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
10. Do not fold, tug or step on the hose.
11. Stop the cleaner immediately if you notice poor per-
formance or anything abnormal during operation.
12. DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES. When not in
use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories.
13. Clean and service the cleaner immediately after
each use to keep it in tiptop operating condition.
14. MAINTAIN THE CLEANER WITH CARE. Keep
the cleaner clean for better and safer per-
formance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
15. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the cleaner, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to deter-
mine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere
in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by authorized service cen-
ter. Don't use the cleaner if switch does not
turn it on and off.
16. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
17. STORE IDLE CLEANER. When not in use, the
cleaner should be stored indoors.
18. Be kind to your cleaner. Rough handling can cause
breakage of even the most sturdily built cleaner.
19. Do not attempt to clean the exterior or interior
with benzine, thinner or cleaning chemicals.
Cracks and discoloration may be caused.
20. Do not use cleaner in an enclosed space where
flammable, explosive or toxic vapors are given
off by oil-base paint, paint-thinner, gasoline,
some mothproofing substances, etc., or in
areas where flammable dust is present.
21. Do not operate the cleaner while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
22. As a basic rule of safety, use safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields.
23. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions.
